Students admitted to Starr King School who've done M.Div. work within the previous five years at another American Theological Schools (ATS)-accredited seminary but not completed a degree can transfer their credits to Starr King.
All M.Div. transfer students must be enrolled at Starr King for a minimum of two years. Students may spend up to one of those years in field study or in an intern program away from Starr King.
For each 15 credits of work completed in another M.Div. program, Starr King will waive one-sixth of the student's tuition upon entering the school. At no time will Starr King waive more than half the tuition. No tuition previously paid will be returned to the student.
This policy applies to the M.Div. program only. Given the specificity of the MASC program, external transfers aren't possible.
Students interested in transferring to a different Starr King degree program than the one in which they're enrolled should first consult with their academic advisor. Students should then request the transfer in writing from the Dean of Students, who'll submit the request to the faculty for a vote. Students will be notified in writing of the result.
Note that a change of advisor may result from a change in degree program, and Starr King will not refund tuition.
All degree requirements remain the same, regardless if a student is transferring to a new program.
Once a student has been accepted into one of Starr King School's degree programs, the student's advisor, in consultation with the student, will evaluate previous graduate level and clinical pastoral education to determine any transferable credits. The school will note these credits on the student's transcript and apply them toward the total credits needed for degree completion. The school will not consider credits applied to previously completed degrees.
